Congratulations to all of our talented guitarists. You performed excellently today. Thanks to the parents who were able to come and watch. Special thanks to our wonderful guitar teacher Tom Butterworth - we are incredibly lucky to have such an inspiring and passionate teacher in our school - the kids LOVE their lessons with Tom and that was evident in the concerts today. BRAVO.

I.N.C (Eva, Stan, Hamish and manager Evie), TheOutlaws (Stanley, Ido, Jyoti, Liam, Mackenzie, Lucas and manager Bradley) and Checkpoint (Minnie, Ted, Luke, Jack, Samuel and Noah) performed to a lively and enthusiastic audience at Downs Infant School today. They performed their own songs brilliantly. Well done and thank you to everyone who has contributed to the development of there talented bands.

Refugee Week is a UK-wide programme of arts, cultural and educational events and activities that celebrates the contribution of refugees to the UK and promotes better understanding of why people seek sanctuary. Anyone can take part by organising, attending or taking part in activities.

The Rwandan crisis of 1994 dispersed millions of people from their homes - forcing them to become refugees. Many of these people were young children. The musical Kesho Amahoro (Peace Tomorrow) tells the story of some of these children, through the eyes of an NGO worker (Lizzie Jago) who lived and worked in the refugee camps in 1994 and 1995. For more information, visit the Kesho Amahoro website.

Have a look at this music timeline (since 1950): It shows genres of music waxing and waning, based on how many Google Play Music users have an artist or album in their music library, and other data (such as album release dates). Each stripe on the graph represents a genre; the thickness of the stripe tells you roughly the popularity of music released in a given year in that genre. (For example, the "jazz" stripe is thick in the 1950s since many users' libraries contain jazz albums released in the '50s.) Click on the stripes to zoom into more specialised genres.
